Antipodean CV's
 

Any advice would be welcome on what is expected in a CV that will be sent to prospective employers. I've heard that the content has to be more in depth. Is this true?

If any of you guys have had experience of this then any comments, pointers or even websites with examples would be great. If anybody has an example that they would let me rip off I would be most obliged.

I need to get one together before the weekend is out. Please help :scared: :(

As a friend, I have to tell you that this charade has gone on far too long. We're all very worried about you. Your constant references to your "twin" brother are starting to get creepy. If you're willing, I'd like to put you in touch with my brother Doug --he's a psychiatist, and I'm sure he could help you.
